Send image from one script to another...

Hi,

Sorry for the lame title and long post, but this is the only way I could describe my headache of a problem. I am a bit of a newb when it comes to PHP, but am starting to get the general idea(knowledge base is increasing anyway...).

I am building a social network using SocialEngine, and have completely customised the picture gallerys, and profile picture system(hence why I haven't posted this elsewhere).

Currently the system allows users to upload photos to an album, and seperately add their profile picture. I am about 70% of the way through integrating these 2 functions together, but have now hit a major problem.

So basically what I'm asking for is either advice on what I should be doing, or help(if your feeling really friendly) to actualy make the changes.

Line 117 of user_album_update.tpl (template file), this is what I have added to create a link which should generate "http://mysite.com/user_editprofile_photo2.php?photoid=./uploads_user/USERID/IMAGEID.jpg", which it does.

After adding the URL to assign the photoid=??, I tried to call that into user_editprofile_photo2.php by using the following code:


$photo = $_GET['photoid'];

and then tried deleting the code that refers to $new_photo, and assigning $photo to $photo_newname.

No joy!

<div style='float: left; padding-right: 10px;' id='profilephotomsg_{$files[files_loop].media_id}'><a href="user_editprofile_photo2.php?photoid={$file_orig}"><img src='./images/icons/profile_editphoto_dim16.gif' border='0' class='button'>{lang_print id=20000801}</a></div>

I then need this "photoid" to be assigned in user_editprofile_photo2.php as the image file to move/crop/copy/edit etc INSTEAD of the script recieving an uploaded file as it was supposed to in its original format. This is where I am getting stuck, I have tried a million and one different variations, and have got nowhere. Just blankness where photos should be!

I have deleted the code from user_editprofile_photo2.tpl so it goes straight to the cropping procedure.

UvumiCrop-compressed.js is the photo cropping javascript, the other files are attached in a zip file below with user_editprofile_photo2.php being the original file that works for the profile picture upload:

Any help would be much appreciated, if I need to provide any more info, then please just ask.

Kind regards,

Kevin

Sorry got that a bit mixed up!

This:

After adding the URL to assign the photoid=??, I tried to call that into user_editprofile_photo2.php by using the following code:

PHP Code:

$photo = $_GET['photoid'];
and then tried deleting the code that refers to $new_photo, and assigning $photo to $photo_newname.

No joy!

Should have come after this:

PHP Code:
<div style='float: left; padding-right: 10px;' id='profilephotomsg_{$files[files_loop].media_id}'><a href="user_editprofile_photo2.php?photoid={$file_orig}"><img src='./images/icons/profile_editphoto_dim16.gif' border='0' class='button'>{lang_print id=20000801}</a></div>

somebody made a good point to me on another forum i posted this on that i did a great job explaining the background of what im doing, but not the problem I am facing, so here goes:

basically when they click the "Set as Profile Picture" button, it loads the url as it should, but the user_edit_profilephoto2.php file does not seem to be able to pick up the photo. It displays no picture at all.

I know the value of the variable is correct as I have physically copied it into the img src of the cropper.

Firstly I am not convinced the $GET['var'] is working correctly, ands secondly I'm not convinced the script is correct to then convert the $GET['var'] the way it needs to when and if it is working.

Basically what user_edit_profilephoto2.php needs to do is use the $_GET['var'] to set the file location(instead of looking for an uploaded file that now doesn't exist), and then copy this file as $photo_newname. It should then proceed as it normally does to create the cropping image, and thumbnail, leaving the original file intact.
